It has been brought to my attention by @masquerabe about my story Love Hoop being plagiarized. Certain parts have been taken and placed into this “writer’s” story, but they have also stolen a story by ShikiKira.
I think it is important to know because I know this writer has done this in the past with other people’s stories (basically stealing old stories and making them her own).
This is the person that has stolen from Love Hoop and ShikiKira: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/8951674/Rebecca1410
This is the story: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12722568/1/Angel-Of-Tennis
ShikiKira has been mostly affected by this, but I don’t think it is fair for any creator to be stolen from. @masquerabe also gave me information that the following FFN account has been plagiarizing old stories that have not been updated in a long time. Do look into her stories and report it if you find similarities (or let the respective authors know if you know them).

EDIT: masquerabe wants people to know about this forum in case you do come across something like this. Do not bully the person. Be a bigger person and just report them, and let’s hope they stop doing this.
Thankfully in my case, the plagiarist removed my story two days after I called them out and informed my readers of their thievery. However, after they took down the parts containing my story, they immediately uploaded 8 new chapters to replace the ones taken down.
I’m still fairly pissed off over the matter, but now even more so. There is no excuse for stealing another writer’s hard work, and then piecing it together with parts of multiple other authors’ works and basically turning it into Frankenstein.
